I can't deal with my life. Everything is fucking up at the exact same time and I'm all alone to deal with this shit. Called my therapist but he'll only be available on Tuesday.
Is it acceptable to vent to friends or should I man up and wait for the therapist? I used to do that but I feel l did it too often and I'm not that close to them anymore. Same with my father (mom's dead), I used to vent to him a lot in autumn when I was feeling particularly bad but it never led to anything positive and felt toxic.
I can only make shitty repetitive threads on /adv/ with shitty unrelated pictures, where I can't even speak my mind properly.
if you have friends that are that close to you that they wouldnt care when you vent to them then by all means do it. just dont be that guy who never has anything positive to say to them because that will make uncomfortable to be around you. You should be open to taking advice whenever you can but also acting upon it because your goal should not be to keep feeling the way you do.
Anon, no one knows it if it is "acceptable" to do so or not. There is no rule. You are in your own situation and your friends are in theirs too, we can't help you on that. I say when in doubt, it is better to talk than to hold on to.
If you want to talk about it here, I'm here to listen to you. I'm not a psychanalyst, but I have plenty experience with it.
I find having sex reduces stress
also diet and exercise, but you already know that

I kinda used to be that guy to one of my friends. So now I'm that guy who's afraid to complain about anything, besides I don't see or call him often anymore.

I feel like I'm venting too often on /adv/ and can't even be honest with myself or others; can't even describe my problems accurately.
But thank you anyway. Basically
>Born with club feet, got them corrected, used to do lots of the most demanding sports like martial arts but my feet have gradually been hurting more and more over the years and functioning worse... Running hurts a shit ton. I've always thought of myself as athletic, it's part of my identity. The fact that I can hardly run anymore is hard to accept.
